Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh

Fund care, not cruelty. @ips-dc.org @popdemoc.bsky.social @popdemocaction.bsky.social @epi.org just released this new calculator showing us where hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money are going (family separation) vs. where they could go (education, healthcare, housing, etc.).
Graphic stating that Trump’s mass deportation bill would spend $268.9 billion and counting in U.S. taxpayer money on mass deportations through the remainder of his term. The graphic features a hand-drawn receipt and a yellow arrow pointing toward the spending figure, with the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies branding at the bottom.Graphic arguing that the $268.9 billion spent on mass deportations could instead fund public services, including 931,963 school teachers, 1,046,926 firefighters, 11,998,386 people on Medicaid, 5,055,947 veterans’ medical care, 6,725,420 Head Start slots, 717,070 registered nurses, 118,285,865 SNAP recipients, 9,764,700 public housing units, or 6,229,702 parents receiving 12 weeks of paid parental leave. The graphic calls for reprioritizing taxpayer spending and is branded by the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.

6/ Here’s what’s at stake. Yesterday’s rulings are a test of whether the 14th Amendment still means what it says: equal protection, due process, and citizenship for everyone, not just the wealthy, powerful few.

Popular Democracy in Action🎙 @popdemocaction.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
5/ The 14th Amendment’s promise of due process exists for moments exactly like this. It reflects a simple principle: the government does not get to make life-altering decisions without fairness, accountability, and the rule of law.

Popular Democracy in Action🎙 @popdemocaction.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
4/ But imagine if the rest of the Court follows Thomas’ lead? Under his reasoning, immigrants don’t have the protections of the 14th Amendment. That’s every immigrant, not just migrants from Haïti or Syria.

Popular Democracy in Action🎙 @popdemocaction.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
3/ Justice Clarence Thomas went further than the rest of the Court. His own words: “aliens have no equal protection rights against the Federal Government.” Luckily, his opinion doesn’t have the force of law.

2/ People who were documented or had status just had their papers torn up by the conservative majority of the Supreme Court, with little chance of appeal. Now the federal government can strip legal status from roughly 1.3 million people who followed every rule this country asked of them.

"Relational organizing is often dismissed as a buzzword. In practice, it is slow, trust-based work... It means you can have a conversation about rent hikes, losing your healthcare, or fear of ICE raids because of shared lived realities... This is what years of investment in people looks like.”

Birthright citizenship. Voter ID laws. Gerrymandering. Purging rolls. Now this. Their attacks are systematic, not random. They're dismantling our right to be treated as equals under the law because our full citizenship and participation in our government terrifies them. 🧵6/

They are dismantling the 14th Amendment in real time. Because here's the pattern: every time we build power, they rewrite the rules. Reconstruction. Jim Crow. Now this. Majority-Black districts exist to protect Black lives and repair centuries of violence. 🧵3/

The Supreme Court conservative majority looked at Black Louisiana voters who fought to keep their majority-Black districts and said: your power makes us uncomfortable. So we're destroying 60+ years of protections of our rights that our people fought, bled, and died for. 🧵2/

"It would be the worst voter suppression law that Congress has ever enacted.” The GOP-controlled House is set to pass a new version of the SAVE Act, a sweeping voter restriction bill that would require citizenship documents to register to vote and strict forms of photo ID to cast a ballot.

These graphics from @ohparentsunited.bsky.social are a powerful example of messaging that leads with values, not fear: ✅ Names the real culprit and the harm they cause ✅ Connects ICE funding to the defunding of schools ✅ Calls for coming together to accomplish a concrete vision.
Large crowd gathered outdoors in front of a building with the words “FORWARD TOGETHER” above the entrance. The slide text reads:

“Thousands of Haitian immigrants bravely left behind violence to start new lives in Ohio.

They are important members of the community. Their children attend school, play sports, and have fun with their friends – just like every other child.”Photo of an empty classroom with rows of desks facing a green chalkboard. The slide text reads:

“Today, about 20% of children attending Springfield City Schools are immigrants. There are 1,200 children under the age of 4 whose parents are now vulnerable to deportation.

EVERY CHILD IN OHIO HAS A LEGAL RIGHT TO A PUBLIC EDUCATION, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, ABILITY OR IMMIGRATION STATUS.”
Group of children and adults at a rally holding handmade signs that read “We love our immigrant neighbors,” “ICE is not cool,” and “Stay out of our schools.” The slide text reads:

“Ohio’s public schools should be places where every child is safe, welcomed and free to learn.

No child can learn when they’re afraid or hungry.

When ICE comes to a community, it makes families afraid to send their children to school – robbing students of their right to an education.”Group of adults at a protest holding American flags and signs, including one that reads “Immigrants are welcome here.” The slide text reads:

“From Cleveland to New Philadelphia to Springfield, we’re coming together across our differences to call on lawmakers to protect our schools.

Tell them to stop giving unlimited resources to ICE and start fully funding our schools.

We want our families to be safe and whole and our children to grow up free from fear – no exceptions.”
